CIOs: Your AI Tech Stack Needs a New Look

By / Blog /

CIOs should rethink AI tech stacks, transitioning from a traditional structure to a “tech sandwich” model, which incorporates data and AI from various sources for a comprehensive approach. Key components include data management, AI applications (embedded, built, and BYOAI), and risk mitigation through a TRiSM layer.
